On the morning of June 29, 1551, the banner of Date Take's two finches fluttered in the midsummer sky, and when Masaki led the triumphant army back to the new main city of the Date family, Rone-jo, there was a commotion throughout the castle. (The fastest update speed is on the Aishang Novel Network biquge.info)

Although the Iris Nest Mountain City, the Stone Crab Mountain City and the Yancheng Mountain City are all the main cities of the powerful people of the country, they are still a little smaller than the Grain Root City, and the Iris Nest Mountain City is very inconvenient to enter and exit between the mountains, and the location of the Stone Crab Mountain City and the Yancheng Mountain City is just on the edge of the Date family's territory, which is really not suitable to become the main city of the Date family. Originally, the retainers mentioned that they would move the main city to Kashijo, after all, Kaseki Castle was the main city of the old boss of Agagun, the Nirumi family, and the Date family's entry into the main castle could prove the end of the Niimi family generation and the arrival of the Date family era, but after looking at the location and scale of the Grain Root Castle and the Sakae Castle, Masahiro chose the Grain Root Castle instead of the higher altitude of the Sakae Castle.

Zhengheng is not interested in the altitude, but the location of the Grain Root Castle, he is located at the junction of the Kamiyo River and the Sorghum River, overlooking the entire Shinmiso, and the Takeno Castle that is still under construction can form a new administrative and commercial center after connecting with the Grain Root Castle, and it is also located in the center of the Irene Nest Mountain Castle, Yancheng Mountain Castle, Stone Crab Mountain Castle, and Kamajo Castle, and it is an important fortress for entering and exiting the Shinshiro River to defeat the remnants of the Shinmi Sadatsu.

The new main city has a new atmosphere, but now Zhengheng's mood is not very good, he looked at the fifteen iron cannons in front of him that had already been scrapped and felt a heartache, even if he won a decisive victory over Xinjian Xuanfancheng, he couldn't hide the painful expression on his face, and roared in a low voice: "What?!" Fifteen of the twenty-three iron cannons were scrapped, and now there are only eight that can be used? ”

The person who reported on the side was none other than the captain of the iron artillery team, Atsutaro Kiyokawa, who also looked very sad, and replied with guilt on his face: "Yes, not only the fifteen iron cannons were completely destroyed, but the remaining eight iron cannons that could be used now have no gunpowder to use, and all those gunpowder have been used up." ”

Zhengheng looked at Atsutaro Kiyokawa, knowing that Atsutaro Kiyokawa would not lie, his brows were tightly locked, and he asked unwillingly, "I really can't use it anymore." "After hearing that the iron cannon that played an important role in the decisive battle with the Shinmi Sadatsura and the crusade against the Shinmi Genbo Cheng could not be used, he would not have been able to achieve such a magnificent victory without the iron cannon, where would he be willing to let the iron cannon that the Niimi family bought with a lot of money be scrapped in the first battle, and the gunpowder would run out, and he was still looking forward to a few more victories? Greed is not enough to swallow an elephant.

Atsutaro Kiyokawa nodded lightly and bowed to the ground and said, "That's true, it's been thoroughly checked." My family does not have a craftsman who can repair and make iron cannons, although China is known as the country of swordsmiths, but swordsmiths and ironsmiths are different types of people, and the ministers have ordered a large bounty, but no one has revealed the list. ”

Zheng Heng picked up an iron cannon and stroked it distressedly, these iron cannons are all his treasures! Baby, who has experienced the test of actual combat, if it weren't for the sudden development of the iron cannon, the Ida family would not have defeated the Shinmi family so cleanly, and muttered in a low voice: "Why is this happening? Why didn't this happen when practicing? ”

Akagi Takao, who was sitting on the side, smiled bitterly and said: "Your Highness, in fact, this is also very normal, after all, when practicing, the iron cannon is not used so excessively, and the iron gunners have only seen it a few times and fired a cannon, and once they are nervous on the battlefield, the probability of the iron cannon being scrapped has greatly increased." ”

Zhengheng didn't know what Akagi Takao meant, in order to save gunpowder and lead bullets when practicing, it was impossible to use iron cannons as constantly as on the battlefield, thinking of this, he had to smile bitterly, in fact, in the end, the power of iron cannons is very great, but the victory is that the enemy has not seen the huge sound of iron cannons, if the opponents are familiar with the sound of iron cannons, there will be no more achievements in this joint battle, after all, the salvo range formed by more than 20 iron cannons is too small. Masahiro has a great interest in such a new gadget as an iron cannon, but although the current Date family has basically defeated the Shinmi family and occupied the entire Aga-gun, it has increased to 12,300 koku. However, there was still no way to start making iron cannons in large quantities, and the research techniques that needed to be prepared were still a bit overwhelming for the small Date family, and they could not find even the most basic craftsmen to repair iron cannons, let alone others.

Zhengheng thought for a while and said: "This matter can't be rushed, spread the announcement as much as possible, as long as someone unveils the list and repairs an iron cannon, I will let him go out of the Shiida family and become a samurai who leads the Yuro." ”

Kiyokawa Atsutaro was stunned for a moment, and then bowed: "The subordinate understands." ”

Everyone present knew that this was a ploy used by Zhengheng to buy bones, and set an example for everyone to see, repairing and making zuò are two different things. A blacksmith who is willing to study can repair an iron cannon with enough time to qualify as a samurai.

Although the swordsmith was an important figure for the samurai, in the eyes of the samurai they were just pariahs who served them, and some brutal people often killed the blacksmith in order to be able to test the sword. As soon as the Date family's list is released, it will inevitably attract the attention of some swordsmiths, as long as there are one or two swordsmiths who are willing to study to come, they can improve the neatness of the Date family's equipment.

The repair of the iron cannon is just a pretense, but what Zhengheng wants is to allow famous blacksmiths to gather under the castle to serve the Date family.

Zheng Heng put down the iron cannon and sat back in his seat.

At this moment, the four guards of Kusama hurriedly came, only to see his tired face, he must have been in a hurry, and when he got closer, he saw Zhengheng and hurriedly knelt on the ground and said: "Your Highness, Tajimu Jingxiao really tried to escape, and when he fled to the vicinity of Yancheng Mountain City, he wanted to contact the local tyrant Shiosatsu to try to revivenation, and the Yansatsu clan informed and captured Tajime Jingxiao." ”

Everyone present was stunned, they didn't expect that Tajimu Jingxiao would run away from the Meichuan Courtyard, and almost raised the anti-flag in Yancheng Mountain City, the garrison of Yancheng Mountain City, Taoshan Zhenbei, looked very incredulous when he heard this, but he knew that this time was the weakest time in Yancheng Mountain City, to be precise, this time was the weakest time for the Date family except for Takeno Stone, even the defenders of Yuanchao Mountain City who had been the main city were only one hundred and seventy or eighty people, not to mention other cities.

Taoshan Zhenbei was suddenly shocked, and immediately asked: "How did he escape from Umegawa Temple, although the Date family is quite weak these days, but there are also dozens of ashigaru guards near Umegawa Temple, where can he escape alone." ”

Kusama Shibei glanced up at Zheng Heng, who motioned for him to answer truthfully, and then said: "It's the two local tyrant families Inoue and Tanaka, who are dissatisfied with the migration of the family and secretly resentful, so they helped Tajime Jingtaka disguise himself as a monk, sneak out of the Umegawa Temple, and escape from the canyon to Yancheng Mountain City at night. ”

Zheng Heng tapped his fingers on his knee and said, "Let him commit suicide by seppuku, and send his remains to the ancestral hall of the Tajime family!" Well, the instigators Inoue and Tanaka men were all executed, and the women were flooded into the barracks. He thought to himself, "Solve a troublesome character!" "Shinmi Sadatsura fled to Kamidaigawa and is still contacting people from all walks of life to try to retake the territory and castle, and Tajime Jingxiao is also not at peace, but what he didn't expect was that Tajime Jingxiao would launch a resurgence at this time, maybe he didn't expect that the decisive battle between the two families would be so short! Otherwise, it is very likely that he will suffer a big loss.

While Masahiro was thinking about how to deal with the remnants of the Shinmi Sadatsune, Miyahara Tanba Mamoru came with several envoys from Koyama Castle, and among them was a thin boy who looked around with curious eyes.
